His company sponsors Vladar with vehicles during the season, I assume he heard this directly from Vladar or his wife

Could be exaggerating/joking

It's pretty vague and stupid of the guy to even drop information like that but I don't doubt that that's true. Vladar could be popping eight Advil's a day and it wouldn't surprise me. Wouldn't be quick to blame the team either, they might not know how bad the pain was. Monahan, stupidly, hid his pain when he was here.

Again, eight painkillers to play a game, not during a game. Not that that's good, and it might not even be true, but let's not mess up the quote immediatly.

I can't believe he ate eight babies in order to play a game.

Eight babies does seem like a crazy amount of nourishment for a pregame meal.

Vladar definitely had some fantastic games this season, though consistency seemed to be a factor. I feel it is relatively safe to say that Vladar wasn't at his best playing with pain and with painkillers. Hopefully he plays lights-out next season in a tandem with Wolf.

While I agree with you...hip surgeries on butterfly-goalies dont always lead to better results.

Can they give him Bionic legs? Maybe make him into something like a Robocop goalie?

I don't think it's hyperbole at all. When you listen to former NHLers speak, a lot of them say they are given a bunch of pills just to get through an 82 game season.

Guys on spitting chiclets have mentioned it numerous times as well as their guests.

I hope its gotten better but not optimistic. Lots of guys who have retired within 5 years have mentioned it as well sometimes they don't even know exactly what they are taking.

Coaches special vitamins really did the trick! I broke my leg going for a touch down and I didn't realize it for two days. Took seven police officers to get me into that ambulance.

Big decision this offseason is what they are going to do in the crease.

I don’t think sticking with Markstrom benefits anyone. Especially if they don’t spend any money in the off season on upgrading talent.

I'm going to stick with hyperbole in the lack of actual proof. A car dealer probably isn't the best source to deem this one factual.

Even still, my shoulder was so bad for a while I probably took 4-6 ibu a day, 3-4 times each week for a couple of years...
